Friday, August 19, in the Official Journal "Le Moniteur" #150, the de facto President Jocelerme Privert has made a new appointment, the 77th.

Presidential Order excerpt :

"[...] Whereas it is necessary to appoint the coordinator of the National Commission for the Fight against Drugs;

On the report of the Ministers of the Interior and Territorial Communities, Economy and Finance, Planning and External Cooperation, Justice and Public Security, Public Health and Population, Social Affairs and Labour, and the National Education and Vocational Training;

And after deliberation by the Council of Ministers,

ORDER

Article 1.- The Citizen Antoine Atouriste is appointed coordinator of the National Commission for the Fight against Drugs (CONALD).

[...]"

Recall that the former Colonel Antoine Atouriste, former Director General of the Unit for Combating Corruption (ULCC), was originally to be installed as Minister of Defence in April https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17126-haiti-politic-rain-of-nominations-in-the-public-administration.html but the installation ceremony had been postponed, the Discharge of the CSC/CA not having been made available within the time limit...

To avoid a potential conflict with Simon Dieuseul Desras (Minister of Environment and Acting Minister of Defence at the time), which also sought the position, it is the Prime Minister who ultimately awarded himself the title of Minister a.i. and the charge of this ministry https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17284-haiti-flash-enex-jean-charles-appoints-himself-minister-of-defence.html
